?Chapter 642:
But before I could move, Evie darted forward and grabbed my hand,ughing. “Hold on, there’s no training scheduled for today.”
I stopped, realizing she was correct. Evelyn was still in the hospital and wouldn’t be able to conduct our training for a while. A pang of guilt hit me hard. After all, Evelyn ended up in the hospital because of saving me, and it was my responsibility to look after her now.
Thinking it over, I turned to Evie with a serious expression. “Evie, I think I should make something for Evelyn and take it to her. She could use someone to look after her now…”
“Makenna,” Evie said, cutting in with a reassuring smile, “you don’t need to worry. Evelyn has been discharged from the hospital already.”
My eyes widened in surprise. “Really? So quickly?”
After the initial surprise wore off, relief washed over me. It meant Evelyn was doing well; they wouldn’t have let her go home otherwise. Feeling reassured that she had recovered brought a smile to my face, and I felt noticeably lighter.
I had nned to go get Alice for a stroll in the garden after breakfast, but she appeared at my doorstep before I headed out.
“Alice, good morning! I was just about toe get you!” I greeted her with enthusiasm, but paused when I noticed the worry etched on her face.
She opened her mouth, seeming to want to say something, then closed it again.
“Alice, what’s the matter? Is something wrong?” I asked with concern.
“Well…” Alice looked increasingly hesitant.
Feeling a chill of apprehension, I pressed her. “Please, just tell me what’s going on.”
Alice gave me a deep look and finally asked, “Makenna, are you aware that Evelyn was discharged from the hospital?”
I nodded quickly. “Yes, I just heard. It’s good news. Why? What happened?”

Before I could say another word, Alice’s eyes widened with anger. “Good news? Evelyn started stirring up trouble as soon as she got discharged!”
“What do you mean?” I frowned, pulling Alice to sit on the sofa. Then I poured her a ss of water to help her rx. “Tell me what happened.”
Alice gulped down the water and then took a deep breath. “Makenna, did you know? Since Evelyn saved you, His Majesty offered her a reward. But instead of epting the reward, she asked for something you won’t believe.”
As I listened, my unease grew with each word. Alice gritted her teeth and went on, “Evelyn asked His Majesty to have the three princes sleep with sex ves to birth more heirs for the Lycan royal family! His Majesty was so impressed by her suggestion that he agreed immediately, and… he even gave Evelyn to Prince Bryan!”
Alice grew more agitated as she spoke, while I felt a storm of emotions swirling inside me.
Makenna’s POV:
The three princes were going to bed with other women, and Leonardo had given Evelyn to Bryan…
Alice’s words echoed in my mind like a relentless drumbeat as I bit my lower lip, struggling to ask, “When… when did this happen?”
“It happened just this morning. It’s causing a huge stir in the pce!” Alice studied my expression carefully before adding, “Those sex ves are all singing Evelyn’s praises now for her so-called kindness.”
I sat there, rooted to the spot, unable to shake off the haze clouding my mind. The words lingered in the air, and my heart felt heavy with a gnawing emptiness.
